ORA® Captive-Bred Chalk Bass Information
This is one of the fish species in aquariums that is frequently ignored by aquarists, even though it can be a valuable addition to hobbyists. The positive aspect is that this fish is very well behaved and is a fantastic addition to any home aquarium.
It is a tranquil aquarium fish that gets together with more peaceful tank mates, thus making it a nice fish to share with others in the community. Sometimes, however, when the fish has grown too large, it will consume smaller invertebrates such as the Bamboo shrimp, but will only do it in the absence of any other readily available food source.
The fish is found in its home in the Western Atlantic as well as the Caribbean and prefers spending the majority of its time at the sea's bottom close to the reefs. The Chalk Bass is discovered at depths of up to 400 meters, but is typically found at only the depth of 90 meters. It's also known by the name of Serranus tortugarum.
